From Philosophy of Science to Philosophy of Literature (and Back) via Philosophy of Mind: Philip Kitcher’s Philosophical Pendulum
No full textA recent focus of Philip Kitcher’s research has been, somewhat surprisingly in the light of his earlier
work, the philosophical analyses of literary works and operas. Some may see a discontinuity in Kitcher’s
oeuvre in this respect—it may be difficult to see how his earlier contributions to philosophy of science relate
to this much less mainstream approach to philosophy. The aim of this paper is to show that there is no
such discontinuity: Kitcher’s contributions to the philosophy of science and his more recent endeavors into
the philosophy of literature and of music are grounded in the same big picture attitude towards the human
mind—an attitude that he would undoubtedly call ‘pragmatic’: one that emphasizes the importance of those
mental processes that are not (or not entirely) rational.
El análisis filosófico de obras literarias y óperas se ha convertido en un objeto de estudio reciente para
Philip Kitcher, algo quizá sorprendente a la vista de su trabajo anterior. Hay quien puede percibir una discontinuidad
en la obra de Kitcher a este respecto: puede ser difícil apreciar cómo sus anteriores contribuciones
a la filosofía de la ciencia se relacionan con este otro tipo menos mayoritario de filosofía. El propósito
de este artículo es mostrar que no hay tal discontinuidad: las contribuciones de Kitcher a la filosofía de la
ciencia y sus empresas más recientes en filosofía de la literatura y de la música se basan en la misma visión
general del espíritu humano, una actitud que indudablemente él denominaría pragmática: enfatiza la importancia
de los procesos mentales que no son (o no completamente) racionales.

Perception, Action and Neuroscience
No full textThe main aim of this thesis is to offer new insights in our understanding of the relationships between visual perception and action. Starting from experimental results in vision and motor neuroscience, it will do this by suggesting new functional characteristics – which are neglected in the literature – of vision-for-action and of motor perception. The crucial task of these characteristics is to compute, from a motor point of view, the most suitable way we can interact with the external environment. A better understanding of these characteristics requires an investigation into the nature of the computational mechanisms through which our visuomotor brain can lead us to perceive the possibilities of action in this external environment.
Describing in a coherent way the nature of the relation between the visual processes that allow us to guide action and the motor processes at the basis of our motor skills is one of the most yarned enterprises in both contemporary philosophy and neuroscience, insofar as opening the “black-box” of the mental representations by which vision-for-action is subserved – in the literature they are called motor representations (MRs) – means to understand in general how the way embodied agents can actively couple with the external environment.
Here, I want to offer a specific contribution to several open, central issues, each concerning the relation between visual perception and action, and each familiar from the literature concerning the philosophy of neuroscience.
Starting from two specific empirical frameworks, the one of the ‘Two Visual Systems Model’ and the other of a model of ‘Motor Perception', the project will shed new light on the mental processes that allow us to visually perceive action possibilities in the external environment. Indeed, it is known that these processes convert the visual information about the objects we are faced with into motor information that we can use to interact with those objects. But what kind of mental representations do these processes rely on? This is the foundational question guiding my overall research. Answering this general question requires a discussion of several more specific issues connected with it. I will confront these issues, and thus answer my main question, by starting from the philosophical analysis of the processing of the cortical anatomo-functional correlates, as well as the computational mechanisms these mental phenomena – that is, MRs – rely on.
Here is a brief overview of the chapters of this thesis, and the related issues I focus on. Chapter 1 introduces the topic. Chapter 2 reviews and synthesises the massive sets of neuroscientific evidence in a coherent philosophical theory of MRs, something we lack at the moment. The goal of chapter 3 is to show that emotions play a crucial role in forming our mental antecedents of action, insofar as they assist vision-for-action from its early stage processing. Chapter 4 aims to defend the idea, completely new, that the representation of action properties, which is a function of MRs, is possible not only for normal objects, but also for depicted objects. Chapter 5 suggests that depicted objects cannot foster the visual feeling of presence because it is strictly linked to the perception of absolute depth cues that give rise to qualitatively rich stereopsis, which is linked to the perception of the possibility of reliable motor interaction with the object we face with

Bence Fliegauf, Just the Wind
No full textCe nouveau film du jeune réalisateur hongrois Bence Fliegauf, récompensé par l’Ours d’argent du meilleur réalisateur au Festival de Berlin de 2012, n’a rien du trip métaphysique qui avait caractérisé Milky Way, son premier film à succès. Au contraire, avec Just the Wind, Bence Fliegauf a voulu mettre en exergue l’épaisseur de la vie quotidienne dans tout ce qu’elle a de plus douloureux. L’idée première du film n’est pas à rechercher plus loin que les frontières de sa terre natale magyare. En..
JOHANNES AQUILA\u27S WALLPAINTING FRAGMENTS FROM THE OLD PARISH CHURCH IN TURNIŠČE
No full textKljub temu, da je stara župnijska cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja v Turnišču dobro znan spomenik gotskega stenskega slikarstva, se zahvaljujoč zanimanju številnih raziskovalcev vrednotenje njenega umetnostnozgodovinskega konteksta venomer dopolnjuje. Del k temu predstavljajo tudi »ponovno odkriti« fragmenti Akvilove stenske poslikave, ki so bili sneti ob zadnjih večjih konservatorsko-restavratorskih delih v sedemdesetih letih 20. stoletja. Od takrat pa so bili shranjeni v depojih Restavratorskega centra Zavoda za varstvo kulturne dediščine Slovenije v Ljubljani. Danes jih hrani Pomurski muzej v Murski Soboti. Gre za t. i. fragment s svetniškimi glavami in fragment z arhitekturnim členom iz prizora Marijine smrti in pogreba, ki sta se nahajala ob srednji konzoli južne stene prezbiterija, in z južne zunanjščine cerkvene ladje snet del monumentalne upodobitve svetega Krištofa. Ob že znanih fragmentih, uničene donatorske podobe dolnjelendavskih Bánfijev in Marije z Jezusom iz Narodne galerije v Ljubljani, predstavljajo slednji pravo novost, ki jim je do sedaj zaradi premajhne pričevalnosti in nedostopnosti bilo namenjeno razmeroma malo pozornosti.
Diplomsko delo jih v smislu ikonografske rekonsktrukcije vpenja v izrazito domišljeno shemo stenske poslikave v turniški cerkvi.Johannes Aquila΄s wallpainting made the old parish church of St. Mary Assumption in Turnišče the monument of an international importance. The art history evaluation of the wallpaintings was in process simultaneously with the restoration works in the 20th century. The part of the wallpainting, which was made in the third quarter of the 14th century by the Johannes Aquila΄s workshop, was removed in the process of restoration. The first group of the wallpainting fragments consists of the two fragments which were discovered in the 1920’s by the art historian France Stelè – St. Mary with Jesus (kept in the National Gallery in Ljubljana) and the ruined donor image of Ladislaw Bánffy. The collection of Pomurje Museum in Murska Sobota includes three fragments which were removed during the restoration works of Ivan Bogovič in the 1970’s. Beside the two fragments from the south wall of the presbytery, he also removed a part of the St. Christopher image from the south outside of the church ship. The author attempts to reconstruct the iconographic involvement of the fragments in the outstandingly designed scheme of the wallpainting in Turnišče church and place this work of art in the context of artistic and cultural creativeness of the late 14th century

A Glossary for Geometric Morphometrics
No full textV diplomski nalogi smo izdelali slovar strokovnega besedišča s področja geometrijske morfometrije. Diplomska naloga je razdeljena na dva dela, in sicer so v prvem delu opisani terminografija, terminologija in značilnosti terminov. Predstavili smo geometrijsko morfometrijo in terminološko stanje in razvitost obravnavanega področja na tujem in doma. V prvem delu so razložena tudi načela za izdelan slovar. Drugi del diplomske naloge predstavlja slovar z razloženimi in naglašenimi termini. Zapisali smo prevode nekaterih terminov, ki še niso (dobro) uveljavljeni. Geometrijska morfometrija je razmeroma nova disciplina, ki združuje računalniško statistična in matematična znanja z namenom reševanja anatomsko-morfoloških vprašanj. Slovenska terminologija je šele v nastajanju in še ni uveljavljena, zato je ta diplomska naloga poskus oblikovanja strokovnega besedišča, ki ga v slovenskem jeziku še ni.In the Graduation Thesis we created a glossary of scientific vocabulary from the field of geometric morphometrics. Graduation Thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part the terminography, terminology and the characteristics of technical terms are described. We described geometric morphometrics, the terminological stateand the development in the discussed field in Slovenia and abroad. The first part also explains the principles for the glossary we created. The second part of the Graduation Thesis presents the glossary with the explained and accentuated technical terms. We wrote down the translations for some of the technical terms which are not (well) recognized yet. Geometric morphometrics is a relatively new discipline, which includes the computer-statisic and mathematical knowledge in order to solve the anatomical-morphological questions. The Slovenian terminology is only in the making and is not yet establishedtherefore the Graduation Thesis is an attempt to form a scientific vocabulary, which does not yet exist in the Slovenian language
